"The U.S. has been purposefully keeping the campaign quiet so as not to signal any intention of resuming major combat operations, one official said." You see, it doesn't count as a war if you don't talk about it.

The island hosts an underground missile site, an # IRGC naval base, and a major desalination plant. The Wall Street Journal reported it was the latest in a series of limited…

The day before the midterms, the WSJ reports the U.S. has been quietly bombing an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz this evening...all while Trump tells reporters he’s not considering striking Iran. Missile defenses are moving in. Watch what they do, not what they say.

First reported by the @wsj.com, the airstrikes were limited in scope and characterized as defensive strikes, the two U.S. officials said. The term defensive strikes has been used to describe the retaliatory strikes carried out by the US in response to Iranian attacks

The US attack came in response to Iran firing at a US aircraft. It does not appear to be the kind of major combat operation that officials have been contemplating, and the @wsj.com@bsky.brid.gy , which first revealed the operation, reported that other such strikes have been carried out

The US has no real objective in this war. It is totally for Israel, they are the only ones who gain, and we are fighting it for them. It's going to be our soldiers that die in this stupid war. Why would any president proceed when such a disasterous outcome is almost guaranteed? It doesn't make any sense at all. We get nothing out of this. It's…

Peddle to the Metal- War's back in full swing. Happy Election Eve, Americans. NEWS: The U.S. military struck Iran’s Qeshm Island on Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the Trump admin has been secretly carrying out military strikes against Iran. The strikes have reportedly been kept quiet deliberately, even as the…

I am under the opinion that what you are saying is true, but also cherry picked. Dems have been slowly getting away from all out support of Israel. They will recognize their right to exist, but not necessarily funding their military. AIPAC does not have the complete and total influence they once had. Change will not happen over night. But how we…

The Korean War never got congressional approval. Our interventions in Kosovo, Libya and strikes in Cambodia never got congressional approval. The war with ISIS used a round about way of extended the military authorization in Iraq, even though that war “ended” in 2011.

I mean, we were having active nuclear negotiations with them when we surprise attacked and killed all their leaders (and school girls). I would be shocked if Iran ever puts their guard down during "talks" anymore.

Didnt you hear? The president has just announced that he has kept MORE promises than he even made! Amazing, can you believe that?! More promises kept than made. No other president has been able to do that.

🚨 Trump spent all day promising no escalation with Iran. Then five explosions hit Qeshm Island, Qatari mediators left Tehran within hours, and U.S. officials admitted they've been quietly striking Iran for weeks.

Guess they figured prices at the pump probably can't go up all that high before everyone votes in the midterms tomorrow. Trump's only political goal has been to get gas prices down before the midterms.
